" I run a fish and ski in salt
" I run a fish and ski in salt water. Motor runs almost every week during winter and a couple times a week during ski season (April - October). Last time out it became hard to start and lost some power. Repair man showed me a piston with a broken ring and damage to top of piston like the motor ingested something. He wants to rebuild power head. I can replace the motor for $7,000. Does a rebuild have a chance of lasting? The motor has been struggling to stay cool for the past two years. Probably salt coorosion and build up. If anyone has had a motor rebuilt, please tell me how it went and what I can ask up front. "
